For Li Qinghai, being a disciple at the fifth level of Qi Refining and still unable to perform Sword Flight was indeed a bit embarrassing. In the world of cultivation, maintaining one's dignity was often very important. However, Li Qinghai's eagerness to learn Sword Flight wasn't just about saving face. It was also for a quick escape. If he couldn't win a fight, he could always run, which seemed quite reasonable.

Li Qinghai opened the manual and began to study it intently. Following the instructions in the technique, he started by controlling his spiritual energy. Li Qinghai raised his hand, and strands of spiritual energy emerged from his fingertips. He then controlled this energy to write words in the air. He decided to try writing the character "Li" first. His fingers remained still as the energy floated out, forming strokes one by one. However, just as he completed the "木" part and was about to continue with the "子" part, the "木" character fell apart due to lack of control.

Li Qinghai pursed his lips and continued writing. Cultivation was indeed a task that tested one's patience. Anyone who was impatient or eager for quick success might not necessarily become possessed, but they would at least waste their efforts. However, patience was something Li Qinghai had in abundance. After all, he had spent fifteen years in the small fishing village, honing his patience to perfection.

Failure after failure, ten times, a hundred times, until finally, Li Qinghai succeeded. Looking at the crooked "Li" character before him, Li Qinghai smiled. To be honest, it was a bit ugly. But that wasn't a big problem; success was what mattered. The ugliness indicated a lack of proficiency in controlling spiritual energy, which meant he needed to keep practicing.

Li Qinghai adjusted his mindset and began to write the character "Qing." With the experience of success, he found it much easier. The "Qing" character was completed in one go and looked much better than the "Li" character. Li Qinghai nodded with satisfaction and continued with the "Hai" character. Time passed as Li Qinghai repeatedly wrote his name.

By noon, Li Qinghai wrote his name once more. This time, the three characters "Li Qinghai" were beautifully written, like dragons and phoenixes dancing! Li Qinghai had clearly reached a masterful level in controlling spiritual energy! Excellent. He could now control objects!

Li Qinghai took out the Spiritual Water Sword. Spiritual energy surged from his fingertips, wrapping around the sword. Then, he let go, and the sword floated before him. Li Qinghai's eyes lit up as he tried to control the sword with his energy, making it fly left, right, and upward, letting it dance around the room. Having initially mastered Sword Flight, Li Qinghai was overjoyed and played with it gleefully.

Meanwhile, outside, the Ye family brothers were not so happy. They had been waiting since last night and still hadn't seen a trace of Li Qinghai. The two brothers sat in a large tree. Ye Chongshan was getting impatient, "What is Li Qinghai doing at home? Why hasn't he gone to Morning Cultivation Mountain?" Ye Kaishan remained calm, "Just be patient. He'll come out eventually."

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

However, Ye Feng was also running out of patience. Ye Kaishan suddenly sensed someone transmitting a message. He took out the transmission token and tapped it lightly, hearing Ye Feng's dissatisfied voice. "Didn't I say to send me a message once you've killed Li Qinghai? Where's your message?" Ye Kaishan quickly replied, "Brother Ye, it's not that we didn't want to send you a message. It's just that Li Qinghai has been hiding in Green Bamboo Residence and hasn't come out."

"I only care about the result. Figure out the process yourselves!" "Alright, alright, we'll find a way." Ye Kaishan, who had been calm, was now feeling troubled after Ye Feng's urging. Finding a way sounded easy, but it was like running around on a wild goose chase.

Suddenly, Ye Chongshan had an idea. "Brother, I heard that Li Qinghai has been quite close to Lu Beixue recently, and they might even become Dao Companions." "Oh? And then?" "We can pretend to ask Li Qinghai for help. He'll definitely come out." "Great idea! Let's go!"

The two jumped down from the tree and quickly arrived at the entrance of Green Bamboo Residence, hiding their bodies behind the door. They then altered their voices slightly and shouted inside, "Dao Companion Qinghai, something's wrong! Ye Feng is causing trouble for Dao Companion Lu again."

Inside, Li Qinghai was momentarily stunned, then a look of delight appeared on his face. Ye Feng causing trouble for Lu Beixue?! Isn't that like looking for death with a lantern in a toilet?! Lu Beixue is the destined protagonist blessed by the old lady. Dealing with a small villain like Ye Feng would be a piece of cake for her.

Li Qinghai continued to control the flying sword, muttering leisurely, "Although I'm tempted to watch the show and eat melon seeds, this is the protagonist's kill to enjoy. Let the protagonist have the experience." Li Qinghai was well aware of such matters. Not sharing Lu Beixue's experience was his final act of kindness.

However, outside, the Ye brothers were dumbfounded. What was going on? Why hadn't Li Qinghai come out yet? Wasn't he the type who loved to meddle in others' affairs? How could he ignore such a great opportunity? And weren't they Dao Companions? Shouldn't he go and save her?

Ye Chongshan whispered, "Try shouting a few more times. Maybe Li Qinghai is cultivating and didn't hear it." Ye Kaishan cleared his throat and shouted again, "Dao Companion Qinghai, hurry and save Dao Companion Beixue. If you're any later, it will be too late." "Dao Companion Qinghai, even if you can't save her, you should at least see her one last time."

Li Qinghai paused, gradually realizing something was off. This wasn't right. These people didn't seem to be genuinely seeking help but were rather eager to get him to come out. That was their true intention! Li Qinghai pondered further. If he were Ye Feng, he would hate Li Qinghai more than Lu Beixue. So even if Ye Feng wanted to cause trouble, he would come for him first. This so-called plea for help was just an act.

Goodness. He almost got tricked by those guys outside. In that case, he definitely couldn't go out. Li Qinghai chuckled with a hint of mischief, "Shout all you want. Even if you shout until your throat is sore, I won't step out!"

Outside, Ye Chongshan shouted several more times, but seeing no response from Li Qinghai, Ye Kaishan interrupted, "No need to shout anymore. Li Qinghai must have figured something out and won't come out." Ye Chongshan was filled with resentment, "That cunning Li Qinghai!" Ye Kaishan turned to leave, "Let's go back and keep watching."

Ye Chongshan followed, "Brother, what if Ye Feng urges us again?" Ye Kaishan, resigned, said, "What else can we do? Let him scold us. After all, he's more anxious than we are. If there's a way, he should be the one to figure it out." Ye Chongshan praised, "Brother, you're wise!"

With that, the two brothers returned to the tree and continued to keep an eye on Green Bamboo Residence.
